A resurgent South Carolina team under Dawn Staley could get a lot of attention this year, and why not? The Lady Cocks are 27-4 and are the top seed in the Palo Alto region as they open their tournament campaign with Big West tourney champs CSU Northridge on Sunday night.
Unbeaten Connecticut, defending national champions, are top seed in the Lincoln region. The Lady Huskies start play on Sunday night against SWAC tourney champs Prairie View A&M, which is basically a home game for them.
